Simple, the SMB connection limit in Windows Pro editions (7,8,10,11) is 20. In previous editions it was 10, and I can't find a reliable number for the non-pro editions.
That may sound like a lot, but if you have lots of devices reading/writing to it, you'll quickly run out. It's also kind of a resource hog when there are lightweight and easy to setup dedicated NAS operating systems with no user limitations for free like TrueNAS (fka FreeNAS) and others.
